Popeye the Sailor Man is a world famous and long time cartoon character created by Elzie Crisler Segar in the 1930s. He is best known for eating a can of spinach whenever he faces a big problem typically at the hands of his arch nemesis Brutus.

Once Popeye opens a can and eats the spinach, the world famous theme bursts and Popeye's muscles starts pumping and he becomes strong enough to defeat any foe.

Of course, this is a cartoon. As much as spinach is nutritious to the body, it will not instantly give us superhuman strength. In fact, there are some who hate spinach regardless if it will give them strength or not. But there is someone who can ask for help and He will give us supernatural strength. None other than God Himself.

King David himself says "In your strength, I can crush an army." This is coming from the man known throughout ages as the one who killed the giant named Goliath. People regarded David as the greatest king that ever lived. But King David himself acknowledges that it is God who gives Him strength.

What are the sources of your strength today: Family. Friends. Your career. Your business. Sure. These may be good but there is something much better - Jesus Christ.

Putting your trust and hope in God is the best thing any man will do. He does not fail. He will never lose power. He will always provide you the strength you need to overcome any obstacle.

Will you also say what David said?

Let us draw our strength from God. Taste so much better than Spinach with much more better results.

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
